34 years male, overweight, 5-11'' and 227 pounds. lost about 50 pounds. I have been experiencing irregular heart beat for the past 3 years. Sometimes, it feels that the heart is going to stop and I do get diziness for a "micro" second. see

Father has pacemaker and mother has HBP. I exercise regularly. The other day I was at the gym and was engaged in a group exercise class and almost fainted (I was well hydrated though). Also, the same night, I experienced irregular pounding heart beat after sexual intercourse. Also, during sessions of masturbation, I experience irregular heart beat. I was wondering if you could comment on my condition. I am really concerned about my condition.
I have chronic prostatis and I believe that it might be contributing to it.
Is there any way to reverse the plaque in my arteries?
Do I have significant plaques?
Can this plaque be causing all of these symptoms?
What kind of risk I have for stroke or heart attack (low, medium, high)?
Can masturbation cause sudden heart stop due to adrenaline (SAD?)?
If I loose weight, will it help my heart condition?
Should i be taking stains (to even further lower LDL and hs-crp)?
